Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a diphthong or permissible cluster.
Vowel-Centric Syllabification
Each syllable contains a vowel sound.
- The genitive '-s' can sometimes be pronounced as a separate syllable, but is typically fused with the preceding syllable in this word.
- Regional dialects might influence vowel qualities but not syllable division.
